Making a slight detour

Vissarion remained in place, staring down the monstrosity as it looked down with intense malicious intent.

Its reptilian eyes flashed with a somewhat hypnotic glow that left Vissarion entranced, his heart beating rapidly as he felt himself engulfed by a certain sensation too strong to ignore.

Seconds passed before the serpent turned away and dived back into the sea allowing Vissarion to let out a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, his aura as a denizen of the Storm Wheel, empowered by the blessings of the Goddess on the ship, served as enough of a deterrent to the serpent.

He didn't dare think with his meager strength as a 3rd Advancement Mystic of the Storm Wheel also known as a Rainmaker, that he would be able to contend against a fully grown Sea Serpent.

"Are you alright captain?" His first mate inquired as he rushed over.

Vissarion nodded. "Yes."

"To think that even Sea Serpents are bothered by the storm."
